Next test: Titanium shims on only one side of the car, with caliper temp stickers and temp paint on both sides.

How much of a difference will 1.0mm of titanium make? Next test September 13th at Buttonwillow at Round 8 of the 86 Challenge!

RaceTreads.com is currently transitioning all retail-facing activity over to Tire Agent. That means anything customer-facing (purchasing, product catalog, etc.) will live under Tire Agent moving forward.
That said, Race Treads Motorsports LLC is still very much active as the motorsports and trackside operations arm.

For the 86 Challenge specifically, Tire Agent is building out a dedicated racer portal where drivers will be able to:
* Log in to a private program page
* Easily place orders for the series
* Access custom pricing/discounts specific to the program

This should make the process a lot cleaner and more streamlined for everyone compared to how it’s worked in the past.

No joke, it’s almost time for the @86challenge doubleheader at Thunderhill West! We’ll be running both directions this weekend, ensuring drivers get to cover every inch of this technical, demanding track. With our own run group and ~40 drivers signed up, it’s sure to be great weekend.

Huge thank you to our partners @yokohamatire @racetreads @speedsf_track_events for supporting our series. by @ryanchingsy

Around the paddock in Round 1 of @86challenge 2026.

Fist time I ran the new spec V601 tires for Stock and Street class. They reward drivers who can immediately get on the pace, which is a challenge for me, as I typically build up to the pace over a session. They are really fun to slide around and very controllable at the limit.

Through Yokohama and our continuing partnership with @racetreads, competitors in Stock and Street classes will be utilizing the Yokohama ADVAN Apex V601 as the spec tire. In Touring and Unlimited, we expect to see competitors adopt Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09 and Yokohama ADVAN A052.

Here we go, last one before summer break. Tomorrow we hit @thunderhillracewaypark for Round 7 of @racetreads @86challenge. It’s going to be a hot one—will the records keep dropping?
